ENERGY ACCOUNTS for BOTSWANA Technical Report Republic of Botswana ENERGY ACCOUNTS FOR BOTSWANA Technical Report October 2016 Acknowledgements This research was supported by The World Bank and The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning. We thank our colleagues from Botswana Power Cooperation, Ms Boitumelo Thabana and Ms Moitshepi Majase, who provided insight and expertise on electricity data that greatly assisted the research. Statistics Botswana greatly assisted in providing national accounts data and trade statistics: their officers Mr Kaone Rasedibo and Mr Kwashirai Chigodora were particularly helpful in this regard. Morupule Colliery Mine was also helpful in providing data on coal. We would also like to show our gratitude to the team, the Technical Working Group, the World Bank, and the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources for providing their time and effort in the development of the energy accounts and the report. Most importantly, we would like to thank the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning and the World Bank for coordinating the WAVES project and providing financial and technical support for the energy accounts compilation. A lot of hands and minds have been involved in this initiative and we thank them for sharing their pearls of wisdom with us during the course of this research. This report has been prepared by a team from the Department of Energy with support from Dr. Rutger Hoekstra (Statistics Netherlands) and the Centre for Applied Research (Dr. Jaap Arntzen and Ms Tshepo Setlhogile).

However, these rights are not enjoyed equally by all. Areas of concern include violence against women and children; discrimination against indigenous peoples; child labour; over reliance on and abuses by the mining sector; respect for diversity and culture; effectiveness of social protection programmes; and access to quality healthcare services. It is recommended that government develop a comprehensive national action plan on human rights that applies to both state and business. 2 Separation of Powers Political and personal interests have made separation between Botswana’s three arms of government difficult.

  • Legal Environment Assessment
    ASSESSMENT OF LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR HIV, AIDS AND TUBERCULOSIS FINAL REPORT FOREWORD Botswana has made significant progress in addressing the HIV epidemic. Although this Legal Environment Assessment (LEA) report has shown that progressive laws, policies and jurisprudence in Botswana has helped to safeguard the rights of all people to equality and non-discrimination, including people living with HIV and TB and vulnerable populations such as women, there remain gaps and challenges that have been identified within Botswana’s current legal and policy framework that create barriers to access to prevention, treatment, care and support for all people, including vulnerable and key populations. It is imperative for all of us to take cognisance of the recommendations in the report if we are end AIDS by 2030. Botswana has adopted the Treat All strategy, developed HIV Testing Services (HTS) Strategy and reviewed the treatment guidelines. To achieve these targets by 2020, it is essential that the legal environment supports the national response in programming and ensure unrestricted access to services among all people of Botswana regardless of race, colour, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, vocation or other status. This report is a fundamental step in ensuring that each stakeholder plays a role in the fight against the epidemic. As highlighted by the UN Secretary General: “Whatever our role in life, wherever we may live, in some way or another, we all live with HIV. We are all affected by it. We all need to take responsibility for the response.” Ensuring no one is left behind is essential since vulnerable and key populations bear much of the burden of the epidemic today.

  • The Effects of Botswana's Policy and Regulatory
    THE EFFECTS OF BOTSWANA’S POLICY AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS ON COMPETITION IN THE PROVISION OF BROADBAND INTERNET Kenaope Phetogo Pelaelo A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the field of ICT Policy and Regulation March 2017 Abstract A country’s policy and regulatory frameworks can be favourable or detrimental to competition amongst operators and service providers in a given market. This report presents the outcomes of an investigation conducted on Botswana’s broadband policy and regulatory frameworks, to determine their effects on competition in the provision of services. The study examined market liberalisation; open access to infrastructure networks; and initiatives for universal access to broadband Internet, exploring several components under each intervention. It reached the overall conclusion that policy and regulation in Botswana have enabled significant service-based competition in the broadband market, while remaining less favourable to facility-based competition. The study briefly explored the framework on open access to infrastructure networks in relation to the ladder of investment (LoI) theory, which is a theoretical underpinning of competition in telecommunications markets. It concluded that the framework does not take heed of the LoI theory, more so that its key assumption that infrastructure investment can be stimulated through systematic price regulation of facilities, such as local loop unbundling and Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNOs) access to networks owned by other operators, have not been applicable in Botswana. This is mainly because local loop unbundling and authorisation of MVNOs have never been implemented in the country.
